  U.S. DOL to Ramp Up Enforcement Against Misclassified Workers.Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP - February 03, 2010 President Obama’s administration will seek more funding for the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), including more funds to enforce wage and hour laws and pursue employers who misclassify employees as independent contractors. In a press release yesterday, Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis outlined the president's fiscal year (FY) 2011 budget request for the DOL, which is built around the vision of "good jobs for everyone." Report Link Retail Industry: How Did They Manage? Part One.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - March 02, 2009 The jury said Family Dollar store managers did not "manage" the stores. A federal appeals court affirmed the $35.5 million overtime verdict. Take steps now to minimize the risk of this happening to your business. Report Link Misclassifying Employees Proves to Be an Expensive Mistake.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - December 09, 2008 A Massachusetts temporary-services company specializing in technical and manufacturing staff has learned a $1.8M lesson about the perils of erroneously classifying employees as exempt under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Report Link Exempt or Non-Exempt? The Answer Isn't Always Easy.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - August 05, 2008 Since 2001, the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division has recovered over $1.25 billion in back wages. That's not a typo. Last year alone, the Department recovered $220,613,703 in back wages, a record, which represented a nearly 70% increase in back wage recovery since 2001. Report Link Manager Misclassification: Still Business as Usual?Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, LLP. - September 27, 2006 In 2001, a federal court in Tennessee hit Treetop Enterprises, Inc., a Waffle House franchisee, with a damage award over $2.8 million (plus prejudgment interest and attorneys fees) in a lawsuit claiming that Treetop had misclassified its managers as exempt from overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). While shocking at the time, it proved to be the precursor to a cottage industry of copycat lawsuits -- with companies such as Starbucks® and others being hit with big damage awards or agreeing to large settlements.
